Ooh! Thanks K.V. As I am always mucking about with A/V this is a bit of boon :D
The .gif files are 2 or 3 times larger than the .mp4 file.
For instance, I copied an .mp4 file which was 254KB, and the .gif is 1MB.
(That's why I threw the "(short) video file" bit in there, but I definitely should have elaborated.)
It's easier to deal with a .gif than it is a video in Quest, though.
A .gif will work in any version of the player, and you don't have to worry about including multiple formats to handle the different browsers like you do with video files.
...but the real reason I like this code is because I can do this now:
That .mp4 is 266KB, and the .gif is 914KB.
If gambling were legal, and I had the nickel to spare, I'd bet a nickel that you can find ways to decrease the file size if you read the ffmpeg documentation.
I'm also recording my screen at a high frame-rate, which makes the original file larger than most people's would be.
I just now started learning to do this. So any input is more than welcome!
Ah, good. I can suggest the tool I use to create GIF videos. The good thing is that it instantly creates GIFs.

Whoa. That's really cool. I'll be sure to reference this at some point later. Thanks!
